    Trends in National-Level Governance and Implementation of the Philippines’ Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law from 2014 to 2020
    Vanessa T. Siy Van, Jhanna Uy, Joy Bagas and Valerie Gilbert T. Ulep
    Global Health: Science and Practice September 2021, 9(3):548-564; https://doi.org/10.9745/GHSP-D-21-00184
